Well, the font has maintenance problems. The original from Georg
Duffner at
https://github.com/georgd/EB-Garamond
is basically frozen since more than 10 years, and the list of issues
is quite large. An improved version from Octavio Pardo at
https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12
also had a hiatus of five years with no fixes applied (and almost 40
issues open), and only recently I see some (non-font) commits again.
Another derived font, however, has a lot of activity:
https://codeberg.org/m-casanova/Garamontio
The only 'problem' is that ChangeLog entries are in Italian :-)
I thus suggest that you give Garamontio a try.
